Seville eats late, and its pizzerias follow the local clock rather than the tourist one. Arrive hungry at 5pm on a Tuesday and every Italian kitchen in this guide is closed until 7pm or later. Ricca Pizzería is an Italian pizzeria on Calle Dos de Mayo, a short walk from Seville Cathedral, with open Valoriani ovens and no afternoon break from Friday to Sunday. The others work two services, lunch from about 1pm and dinner from 8pm, and three of them charge bread per head on top of the menu price: 1.20 euros at Alimentari, 1.50 euros at Maccheroni & Co and 1.90 euros at L’Oca Giuliva.
Where is the best pizza in Seville? In the old town, Ricca on Calle Dos de Mayo serves a 12-euro margherita and stays open from noon to 11pm from Friday to Sunday. L’Oca Giuliva, next to the Giralda, charges 11.90 euros. Alimentari has the cheapest good margherita at 10.10 euros, and Senza Glutine di Grosso Napoletano is fully gluten-free.
Which pizzeria in Seville suits your evening
Pick by the hour you will eat and who is with you, not by the menu, because the margherita price only moves by 1.90 euros across the old town.

If pizza is the fallback after a day of tapas, the bar-by-bar route is in the best tapas bars in Seville; if the group would rather have burgers, Seville’s burger places with tables and prices covers that.
When Seville pizzerias serve, and the 4pm gap
At these pizzerias, lunch runs from about 1pm to 4pm and dinner starts at 7pm or 8pm, on Spanish hours. On a Saturday, only Ricca serves through the afternoon, from noon to 11pm. L’Oca Giuliva stops at 3:30pm and reopens at 8pm, Maccheroni & Co works 1:30pm to 4pm and 8pm to 11pm, and Alimentari’s pick-up counter runs 1:30pm to 4pm and 8:30pm to 10:45pm.
From Monday to Thursday Ricca also breaks, serving noon to 3:30pm and 7pm to 11pm, which makes its 7pm start the earliest dinner of the four. The three Alimentari restaurants open daily from 1:30pm, but their websites disagree on closing times and on whether Generi Alimentari closes on Tuesdays, so phone ahead for a late dinner: 955 722 260 for Alimentari, 954 560 449 for Alimentari e Diversi and 954 119 310 for Generi Alimentari.

What a margherita costs once bread is on the bill
On the menus, a margherita costs 10.10 euros at Alimentari and Alimentari e Diversi, 11.90 euros at Maccheroni & Co and L’Oca Giuliva and 12 euros at Ricca. The bread charge, listed per person, reshuffles that order.
With bread, one person’s margherita comes to 11.30 euros at either Alimentari, 13.40 euros at Maccheroni & Co and 13.80 euros at L’Oca Giuliva, where the bread arrives with grissini. Ricca’s menu lists no bread charge, so its 12-euro margherita ends up cheaper than two that cost less on paper. Menu prices include VAT, according to Ricca and Alimentari, so the printed figure is what reaches the bill, plus the bread.
Where each pizzeria is, and the stop to use
The four old-town pizzerias are under a kilometre apart and walkable from Seville Cathedral. Ricca, at Calle Dos de Mayo 26, has TUSSAM buses 21, 40 and 41 at the Paseo Cristóbal Colón (Dos de Mayo) stop, 139 metres away, and Puerta de Jerez metro 378 metres away.
Maccheroni & Co, at Calle García de Vinuesa 26-28, is 247 metres from the Archivo de Indias tram stop, and L’Oca Giuliva, at Calle Mateos Gago 9, is 334 metres from the same stop. Alimentari e Diversi, at Calle Julio César 14, has buses 43 and C5 stopping 36 metres away. Outside the old town, Alimentari at Calle Bartolomé de Medina 21 is 432 metres from Prado de San Sebastián metro; Grosso Napoletano Viapol, at Calle Vermondo Resta 4, is 166 metres from San Bernardo metro; and Generi Alimentari, at Calle Tabladilla 2, about 2.5 km from the Cathedral, is served by buses 01, 37 and A6. A TUSSAM single ticket costs 1.40 euros, paid on board or by tapping a contactless Visa or Mastercard on the validator; the other tickets are compared in Seville transport fares.
What to order first, including gluten-free
Each pizzeria has one pizza that shows its style, and the first orders below run from 10 euros for Maccheroni’s Marinara to 25 euros for Ricca’s Tartufina. The gluten-free option closes the list.
- Ricca Pizzería, rated 4.7 on Google. Order one classic and one gourmet pizza: the 12-euro margherita and the Pistacchio e Burrata at 21 euros, whose toppings go on after baking, at room temperature. The Tartufina tops the menu at 25 euros, and a lactose-free margherita costs 13 euros.
- L’Oca Giuliva, rated 4.4, has cooked Neapolitan pizza on Calle Mateos Gago since 2008. The house pizza, Pizza Oca Giuliva, with broccoli and homemade salsiccia, costs 16.90 euros. It is on the most visited street of Santa Cruz, covered in Santa Cruz, what to see.
- Maccheroni & Co, rated 4.3, the lowest of the eight, makes its dough in its own workshop. The Pizza Maccheroni, with San Daniele ham and truffle cheese, costs 18.50 euros; the Marinara, 10 euros.
- Alimentari, rated 4.6 at Calle Bartolomé de Medina, 4.7 at Alimentari e Diversi and 4.8 at Generi Alimentari, the highest score here. Stone-oven pizza with Molino Caputo flour and San Marzano tomatoes: try La Verace with buffalo mozzarella at 13.20 euros, or the stretched Ruota di carro at Alimentari e Diversi for 2 euros extra. That branch makes no changes to dishes, so fussy eaters should go elsewhere. Gluten-free, lactose-free and vegetarian menus are prepared on request when booking.
- Senza Glutine di Grosso Napoletano, rated 4.6, at Alameda de Hércules 46, is fully gluten-free and serves the chain’s usual menu, from Margherita to Diavola. Its dough uses rice, maize and buckwheat flour and a 48-hour double fermentation, according to Grosso Napoletano, and buses 13, 14 and A7 stop 56 metres away at Calatrava. Prices and tables show up when booking on Grosso’s website.
Travelling with children, Grosso Napoletano Viapol, rated 4.4, has high chairs but no changing table, and the rest of the day is planned in Seville with kids.
